THE GREAT CONVENIENCE
of this arrangement is that those in In
voluntary attendance on court can leave
town az soon as their presence is no longer
needed unhampered by the necessity Of dis
counting their orders, or waiting for their
money until the County Commissioners
allow the fees for the term Of court, which
is anywhere from two to six months after
they have been incurred. At the County
Treasurer's Office it is stated that there
will be enough money to pay all expenses
of this term of the District Court. The
County Commissioners will not allow the
jury and witness fees incurred in Justices
Courts for the sitting. 1t is stated that

the bellows Of smith, and TO drive

that country is to find water. In the
hot season, when the earth is parched
and springs and streams are TRY, the
owner OF tame chacniR takes him out tC

Ehman reached this city at 4.45 Thursday
afternoon and few minutes later Ehman
walked from his prison Gel. free man.
The case was a peculiar one. Ehman
was convicted when in his teens of lar
csny and wos sentenced to four years i'm
prisonment. After serving three years he
escaped with IL others by scaling the
prison wall.
Nothing more was heard of him until a
few months ago, when it was discovered
TINT he was living in Delaware, o. A
Reading railroad detective went there and
arrested him for the reward Of $50.
Ehman had been in Delaware Eve years,
had married and had child. He had
changed his name to Charles Smith. By
industry he had bought and paid for a
home, had helped build Lutheran
church and was president of a, CO. operative
cigar factory. Everybody in the place
respected him, and they az first refused
to believe him On escaped convict. The
detective was obliged to drive out of town
with his prisoner instead OF taking O

ton compared with what vas done by a
friend Of mine in the county of Limerick
last year This eminent oculist whose
name might as well be Mtriarity as any
thing else-had just taken out the eyes
Of a woman to clean, and placed them on

when, unfortunately, they were pounced
upon by fayorite cat and swallowed.
But the oculist did not loss his presence
Of mind. He seized the cat and before
you could say Jack Robinson whipped
out her eyes and transferred them to the
vacant holes in the head Of his patient
with that skill for which he was so Justly
celebrated. As for the woman, she was
enraptured when she found that, though
in dark room, she could see as we'll as

fame Of the doctor spread far and wide

CONTRASTING 4 VIII.
IIIss Palms, the Idol of Loye-sick
Senator Jones, In Court.


Senator Jones, In Court.
DETROIT, March 20. Judge Thomas NJ.
Cooley appeared in the Wayne circuit
court yesterday as counsel for Miss
Clotilde Palmp, daughter and joint heir
with her brother, Francis F. Palms, of
the estate of the late Francis Palms. The
latter left property valued at about
$1,000, 900 to his two children. The will
provides for a trust to be held until
maturity is attained by the children for
either heir. This is rs near as the
testatoT could come TO entailing his vast
possessions and the lawyers say that this
will not stand the tests of our laws. A
provision in the will disinherited either
heir who should contest the will On its
face, therefore, this case ia merely a
friendly discussion on the part of counsel
to settle what the provisions Of
the will mean. Under this disguise
turks what is expected will prove the
greatest contest in the history OF
the state and is likely to give Miss
Palms more notorieiy, she being known
to the public now as the lady with whom
Senator Jones of Florida was smitten. Al
Miss Palms has no children, the estate in
case she die unmarried and childless
would revert TO her brother or hit
children. Besides Judge Cooley, there Il
an eminent array Of legal talent in thu
case.

instrument known onn be seen, there be
